Maya Reid Poems

I love you.
I’m in love with you.

But look at me.
...

You’re looking into her beautiful eyes
Gazing into them
Getting lost like you always do
And you can tell that something’s not quite right
...

I was so excited
For the first time, someone would be there
For the sole purpose
Of seeing me
...

People talk
Balls bounce
Dogs bark
Cars drive
...

I’ve spent too much time
Staring at the imperfection
Of my reflection
Not enough time spent
...

I live in a world full of people
At a masquerade ball
Pretending to be something
Someone
...

You constantly ask how this all started
How we came to be
And it hurts me every time
I know how hard it must be for you
...

I know that’s she’s an
Extraordinary girl
Just looking for a place
Here in this ordinary world
...

You’d known who he was forever
And he’d always intrigued you
You’d always wanted to know him
Know the story behind those liquid brown eyes
...

It’s 1: 00 in the morning
As usual, I can’t sleep
Thoughts of you make me toss and turn
Eventually I give in to insomnia
...
